Happy Holidays- all year long February 1, 2010

Seriously- I think I single handedly bought enough of this Peppermint Mocha deliciousness to make the creamer people decide to make and sell it year around.  It is neither sugar free or fat free- and for the last few years was only available from Nov-Dec.  So now I will have to vow to limit how often I buy it- and try even harder to keep working out to burn it off.  But really- it is worth it.  (Now I can stop stirring my coffee with candy canes.  Wait- haven’t tried the creamer with the candy cane- so never mind.)

And if you purchase some- think of me.

Kinda like being out of tp January 25, 2010

This kind of stuff happens all of the time.
I blame myself.  I mean what was I thinking?

I know I should check.  I even think to myself- Rachel you should check- because the fairies never come.

I mean- it is not anything new or unexpected.  Like the gum in the laundry or dishes in the sink.  Or being out of toliet paper- and you know you should check- but just assume  a new roll was replaced and put under the sink in the spot that is specifically designated for toilet paper.  Look- always check.  Double check if necessary. (Which is always necessary with TP).

This is what happened today- yes that is my grocery list, printed coupons, and some new recipes….

All printed on BLUE paper.

We were out of paper for a week or so- and after several times of asking my dear hubby to get new printer paper- I got it myself.

I didn’t load the new paper- I thought he might do it.  But alas- he has been using blue paper.  And of course I didn’t check.  So my bad.  I guess it will look pretty in my recipe book and while shopping this week.  And the kids at youth group don’t care- so he thought it was a good idea.

But really- I am not mad.  I laughed when I found my print jobs.  Because I knew I should check to see if the new paper was loaded.  And was surprised by the bright reminder to always double check.

***I am not bashing my guy.  Because he is great.  He works full-time, giving himself to ministry even when he feels spent.  He is a full-time student, plugging away at course work at all hours with the aspirations of giving himself more opportunities and being a role model for our kid.  He is a great dad- I mean O can’t get enough of him.  A loving son.  A great friend.  My best friend and the most supportive husband.  (Remember this recent post?)

If you know us- you also know it is not all overlooking the little stuff in our relationship.  We get into tifs about everything plenty of stuff.  (Seriously- the clothes are in a pile next to the clothes basket?)

So to remain sane and keep the peace I choose to forget about the gum, the tp and dishes- and stay positive (for today).
Because really it’s not important and he really does deserve a break when it comes to the blue paper.
